Academics from famed universities situated in Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, and Romania, treat a variety of issues in English, Romanian, French and Spanish. In consequence, the collection of papers provided by this volume includes fourteen articles, a translation and two book reviews. The Literature section is delved into by authors associated with The University of Bucharest, The “A. Philippide” Institute of Romanian Philology, Iași, “St. Kliment Ohridski” University of Sofia, “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia and Lund University. In the present edition of the journal, there are introduced six articles meant to advance astute perceptions about cultural and linguistic values of particular literary works. Monica Manolachi approaches the concept of revolution in the prose of Romanian women writers, explored either as a change of direction (a moment in time) or as a cyclical process (a flowing gyre). Maricica Munteanu captures the conversation of the cenacle “Viața românească” from various angles. At first, as a phenomenon of loss, focusing on the voice of the writers and oral speech as signs of extreme fragility, further on, as the content of the “profitable” conversation (Glinoer, Laisney), and in the end, as the detachment from writing centring on the functions of laughter inside the literary community. The paper by Dinu Moscal examines the epithets “pale” / “pallid” in Eminescu’s lyrics by interpreting their metaphorical meaning, which belongs to the extra-existential world, differing from any concept of overcoming the antagonism being–non-being, highly represented in Eminescu’s poetry. The subject of Balkanism in Romanian contemporary poetry is investigated by Carmen Darabus. The highlighted features show a full sequence of themes and aesthetic formulae, from tragic to comic, often switching rapidly from one edge to the other, taking into account the old Thracian solemn part, then the proud Byzantium and its absorption in Constantinople – all rolling in a series of formal expressions reflected in themes and vocabulary. The article by Gabriela Chiciudean enters into the study of the novel “The Deadline” by Horia Liman. The history of an authentic world is depicted as governed by unwritten laws belonging to the morality of the common man, especially to the honour code, where the knapsack and the knife are held in high esteem; the atmosphere of the novel, its characters and their features, the difficult life and the unwritten laws are gradually unveiled through significant events. Eventually, this section is enclosed by Felix Nicolau’s paper on the impending need of an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary super-arch-canon. This necessity is due 7 Vol. 3 No 1 (2020) SWEDISH JOURNAL OF ROMANIAN STUDIES to problematic canonizations which are prevalent in the former communist countries wherein arts and culture in general may still function as propaganda weaponry at the hands of the sponsoring state. The Theatre section serves as the background for advancing descriptive and analytical studies covering theatrical composition. In this regard, Nicoleta Popa Blanariu, an academic at “Vasile Alecsandri” University, Bacau, presents a paper dealing with a view on the way in which Matéi Visniec draws attention to how some of A. P. Chekhov’s plays also manifest a self-referential and metadramatic/ metadramaturgical component of implicit theatrical po(i)etics, beyond their psychological realism and questionable symbolism. Matéi Visniec exploits this in his own creation in close connection with the postmodern preference for intertextual and self- referential writing. In Film studies, Carmen Dominte, from National University of Music Bucharest, aims to take into discussion the manner in which light and shadow may be employed as instruments of creating literary as well as visual metaphors. At the same time, it analyses the transposition of a metaphor generated by light and shadow from literature to cinematography and theatre, as in Liviu Rebreanu’s “The Forest of the Hanged”. Translation studies is a segment that aims to present the in-depth examinations of three academics from The University of Groningen, “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia, and Leipzig University, respectively. Raluca Andreia Tanasescu opens the section with an article that submits to a close scrutiny the corpus of contemporary American and Canadian poetry translated into Romanian in stand-alone volumes, between 1990 and 2017. The paper argues that translators had a deciding impact on the selection of authors, as well as on the configuration of the overall translation network; translators were paramount in establishing positive relationships with U.S. and Canadian poetic approaches and in energizing the local literary scene. Further on, Andra Iulia Ursa provides an investigation on how Mircea Ivănescu’s Romanian translation deals with collocations, especially with those that typically represent Joyce’s authorial style, conceptualized in the ninth chapter of “Ulysses”. The article is committed to a further exposition of the similarities and distinctions between the source language text and the target language translation. Finally, Diana V. Burlacu provides a glimpse on a series of short Romanian translations based on the German version of Adam Fletcher’s book entitled “How to be German in 50 new steps/ Wie man Deutscher wird. In 50 neuen Schritten”. Such translations strive to retain all the meanings, be they literal or expressive, or evoked, or those generated by idioms, fixed set-phrases and non-equivalences in the original text, as much as possible freed from any traces of 8 Vol. 3 No 1 (2020) SWEDISH

  • Return of the Kings. Institutionalization of the Royal Families in the Republics of Romania and Montenegro in the 21St Century
    Marcin M. Wiszowaty* Uniwersytet Gdański RETURN OF THE KINGS. INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE ROYAL FAMILIES IN THE REPUBLICS OF ROMANIA AND MONTENEGRO IN THE 21ST CENTURY 1. In my latest book I took note of the phenomenon which I defined as a “re- publican paradigm in the research on the political systems of modern states”. This trend is very often encountered in the process of analyzing political systems. On one hand, it consist in omitting or marginalizing all characteristic elements of the monarchy, which do not have their republican equivalent, and on the other hand it focuses on democratic aspects of political system, ignoring its monarchic or republican character. This trend mainly results from a commonly-accepted as- sumption, that the so-called constitutional monarchy is only a stage on its way to the inevitable transformation of a political system from the absolute monarchy into the pure republic, which makes it only a transitional form. It brings about the fact that in case of monarchic states, the only subject of political system analysis is usually the monarch himself, as the last remnant of the past monarchy, whereas the other institutions of the monarchic system are ignored in the belief that they constitute insignificant relics, or even that they have already turned fully into the “republican” character.1 One of the consequences of the above-mentioned inter- pretation is a gradual replacement of a traditional categorization into “republics” or “monarchies” by classifying the states as “democratic” or “undemocratic”. As a result, the two categories will encompass both monarchies and republics, ulti- mately reducing the fundamental differences between political systems.

  • (Re)Naming Streets in Contemporary Bucharest: from Power Distribution to Subjective Biography
    Page|69 (Re)Naming Streets in Contemporary Bucharest: From Power Distribution to Subjective Biography Ana-Maria Niculescu-Mizil University of Bucharest, Romania Abstract The present study is grounded on the premise that street names represent an embodiment of the socio-political order in the realm of everyday life (Azaryahu 2002, 135-144). It develops on three complementary axes of interest: a descriptive statistical analysis of power distribution among genders and professional categories in the current configuration of street names, a case study of Ion Câmpineanu Street as a ‘memorial landscape’ (Dwyer and Alderman 2008, 165 – 178) and the street's subjective history as it is recalled by locals in semi-structured interviews. Research’s findings sustain the idea that individuals invest personal or contextual significance endorsed with emotional resonance, in street names and rarely reflect upon the personalities naming their streets. The case study outlined Ion Câmpineanu Street as a self-contradictory, vivid landscape, an urban setting where several versions of history vindicate their memory. The analysis of street names in sector one reveals an unequal distribution among genders in favor of men, who are prominent in naming streets. The novelty in the present inquiry emerges from a gender sensitive approach upon the subject of street toponymy and social memory. Street names are understood as an embodied instrument employed in the social construction of gender in urban spaces. Keywords: social memory • memorial landscape • street toponymy • power relations • social construction of gender Introduction The cornerstone of the present research consists of Azaryahu's and Light, Nicolae and Suditu's findings according to which street names are established and modified according to principles which reflect the socio-political order of the moment (Azaryahu 1996).

  • The Competitive Environment of Romanian Cultural Organizations: Sources of Opportunities for Raising Competitiveness in Urban Development Context
    International Journal of Business and Management Studies, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2158-1479 :: 1(1):541–552 (2012) THE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT OF ROMANIAN CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS: SOURCES OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAISING COMPETITIVENESS IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT Răzvan-Andrei Corboú and Ruxandra-Irina Popescu Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania Nowadays, more and more cities all over the world use cultural organizations promotion as instrument for improving urban image, stimulating development, attracting tourists and investors. This is due to the fact that over time, cultural organizations have become a key element in urban competition, due to their significant potential of generating local revenues thus boosting cities economy. Moreover, in developed countries, the measurement of quality of life in big cities cannot be carried out without taking into consideration the opportunities for culture, art and creative activities. Thus, cities with strong cultural infrastructure represent big polarization centres, which must be taken into account in all urban and regional development programs. Regarding these aspects, the present study reflects the main characteristics, cultural actors involved and evolution of the most important cultural sectors in Romanian cities: public libraries, museums and museum collections, entertainment arts and cinema industry. The study also presents a series of recommendations for raising Romanian cultural organizations competitiveness, which might contribute to the development and promotion of host cities. Keywords:

  • Avangarda În Slujba Revoluţiei
    Avangarda în slujba Revoluţiei Ovidiu MORAR Keywords: avant-garde; revolution; communism Dacă, după Ionesco, avangarda trebuie definită „în termeni de opoziţie şi ruptură”, iar avangardistul reprezintă prin excelenţă „opozantul faţă de sistemul existent” (Ionesco 1998: 77–78), rezultă că miza principală a demersului avangardist e revoluţia. E cât se poate de limpede faptul că toate curentele de avangardă au încercat să revoluţioneze radical limbajele artistice, în pofida tuturor formulelor estetice consacrate, ajungând chiar uneori (vezi, de pildă, cazul dadaismului), dintr-o idiosincrazie obsesivă faţă de detestabila „Doamna Convenţia”, la o adevărată convenţionalizare a negaţiei, la un „conformism al non-conformismului” (Compagnon 1998: 7), tradus printr-un nihilism absolut, steril şi autodizolvant. Totuşi, definiţia avangardei ca modernism extrem(ist) sau ca extremism al modernismului (Marino 1973: 195) lasă nelămurită problema angajării politice a majorităţii exponenţilor ei (în slujba Revoluţiei), problemă cu adevărat vitală la un moment dat şi care ajunge să lase în umbră chiar miza estetică a proiectului avangardist. Căci cum altfel poate fi privită, de pildă, această Declaraţie a suprarealiştilor francezi din 27 ianuarie 1925: „Noi n-avem nimic de-a face cu literatura. Însă suntem capabili a ne servi de ea la nevoie, ca toată lumea. [...] Noi suntem foarte hotărâţi să facem o Revoluţie”? Într-un studiu de referinţă apărut în 1974, Peter Bürger sesiza cu justeţe importanţa dimensiunii sociale a proiectului avangardist, disociindu-l astfel de modernism: dacă modernismul poate fi înţeles „ca un atac împotriva tehnicilor tradiţionale de scriitură”, avangarda istorică a anilor ’20 poate fi înţeleasă „numai ca un atac împotriva comerţului instituţionalizat cu arta”, ea fiind „prima mişcare din istoria artei care s-a întors împotriva instituţiei artei şi a autonomiei acesteia” (Bürger 1984: 5).

And this makes it of the first importance that the facts from which that usage and practice are to be deduced should be correctly appre- ciated, and in particular that the great treaties which have regulated the status and territorial rights of nations should be studied from the point of view of history and international law. It is the object of this book to present materials for that study in an accessible form. The scope of the book is limited, and wisely limited, to treaties between the nations of Europe, and to treaties between those nations from 1815 onwards. To include all treaties affecting all nations would require volumes nor is it for the many ; necessary, purpose of obtaining a sufficient insight into the history and usage of European States on such matters as those to which these treaties relate, to go further back than the settlement which resulted from the Napoleonic wars.
